common chick lit novels. Whether you've read the books or

Chick
lit not your thing? If you're an aspiring author, it doesn't matter.
There's still some valuable information here. The section on character
creation alone makes this a necessary read. I can't tell you how many
books I've had to give poor reviews that could have been saved by the
information contained in here.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
